I've tested every item in the Client menu (and its sub-menus) to make sure they functions the same as the hard-coded menus they are replacing, and I'm satisfied that the Client menu checks out. Others are welcome to confirm my tests.

There are two known differences: the Client > Render menu now always shows the "HTTP Get Textures" and "Dynamic Reflections" menu items. Normally, they are hidden in "release for download" builds.

Of course, I could not test that the new Server menu functions the same as the old one, since I can't use them. A Linden with customer-service level God powers should check to make sure they all work properly.

Updated this issue and attached a new patch, VWR-2948_xui_advanced_menu_20080708_clean.patch.txt.

The new patch applies to 1.20 RC12, but the patch line numbers depend on ~~VWR-8056~~. You can kill two birds with one stone by replacing the current menu_viewer.xml with the attached version (it contains the changes from both ~~VWR-8056~~ and this VWR-2948 patch).

The new patch has been updated to include all current menu items in the Advanced menu. It does not contain menu entries for the Admin menu, as I left those C++ based in the new patch for VWR-2947.

The XUI menu is functionally and visually equivalent to the C+-based menus, and I have personally tested every menu item multiple times to make sure of that. The only visible difference is that I have made "HTTP Get Textures" included all the time, whereas it had been conditionally removed at compile time with the C+ menus. The XML for that menu item could be commented out if there's some reason to have it disabled.

The old patch is obsolete and should not be used.

Updated the patch and XML:

VWR-2948_xui_advanced_menu_20080904.patch.txt
menu_viewer_20080904.xml

Since ~~VWR-8056~~ was resolved Won't Fix, I've applied the changes to the non-cleaned up menu XML and generated a new XML patch that will apply to the 1.20 release out of the box. ~~VWR-2497~~ still works fine.
